St. Michael's provides nutritious, home-cooked, and well-balanced food that is an excellent stable meal for their customers' health. They try to balance between fruits and vegetables while making the food. Their schedule usually consists of the group leader starting off work at 9 AM in the chapel where the food is distributed. The group leader has many different stations such as a station for meat or vegetables depending on what's being served that day. Then at 10 AM, the St. Michael’s Soup Kitchen would open its doors, and one by one, the people that came in would receive a tray and be given the choice to pick out whatever they liked from the array of food. As you can see, St. Michaels, following the catholic faith and teachings, serves all people in need in our community, and all their helping hands bring a big change to people's lives. They treat their clients in a kind and respectful way, and make sure their food is provided with love and care. We are very blessed to have a service like St. Michael’s Soup Kitchen in our community.
